Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3255196A1] A locking mechanism (300) for an inner tub (100) of a washing machine and the washing machine. A first positioning structure is arranged at the bottom of the inner tub (100), and a second positioning structure is arranged at the bottom of the outer tub (200); the second positioning structure is a stretchable and contractible structure; when the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure come into concave-convex cooperation, the inner tub (100) is locked; and when the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure separate from each other, the inner tub (100) is unlocked. A locking hole (301) is formed at the bottom of the inner tub (100); at least a stretchable and contractible locking rod (302) is arranged at the bottom of the outer tub (200); when the locking rod (302) projects into the locking hole (301), the inner tub (100) is locked; and when the locking rod (302) separates from the locking hole (301), the inner tub (100) is unlocked. During washing, the inner tub (100) is locked without water between the inner tub and the outer tub.
